I think so. That page could use a major edit. We don’t need to discuss legacy releases and the links need to be more direct. For Oracle looks best: https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp <https://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp> And instead of OpenJDK we should point to AdoptOpenJDK: https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html <https://adoptopenjdk.net/releases.html> It looks like we could even add a button to the download page that might pick out the proper adoptopenjdk.
